Going into the 2017-18 season, the one spot that head coach Bobby Hurley was most excited for was his added depth in the frontcourt. After Obinna Olekka carried the brunt of the load in the middle of the floor last season, it seemed like ASU’s lineup wouldn’t be as dependent on just one big man.
Ironically, it was best that they did just that tonight.
In his first game in a Sun Devil uniform, junior transfer De’Quon Lake came on to the scene with a dominant game on both ends of the floor, finishing around the rim with thunderous dunks and holding a impenetrable wall in the paint with a stout presence on the defensive side of the floor.
